Chapter Six: Secretly Searching for the Jade Pendant
Yue Yirou swore that she really didn't mean to vomit on Yan Ye.
But when she thought about how Yan Ye had been vomited on by her and the look of utter despair on his face, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
After Yan Ye left the study, she went into the bathroom, turned on the faucet on the sink, scooped up the running water with both hands, and rinsed her mouth for nearly ten minutes, no less than a hundred times, until there was no trace of Yan Ye's breath in her mouth before she stopped.
Standing in front of the sink, gazing at herself in the mirror, Yue Yirou suddenly felt an urge to cry.
Humiliation and distress filled her heart.
She felt sorry for Lu Tingyun.
She knew she shouldn't have disobeyed him and come to find Yan Ye, but she knew very well that after he woke up, he would still go crazy and insist on coming to Xingye Pavilion to retrieve the white jade pendant. She didn't want him to be beaten by Yan Ye again, she didn't want him to get hurt again, she wanted him to be safe and sound.
She wanted to help Tingyun find the white jade pendant his mother had left him; otherwise, when he woke up, he would definitely come to Xingye Pavilion, and she didn't want him to come here again.
Now is not the time to be sad. The doctor gave Tingyun a sedative, and he will wake up in the afternoon. She must get Tingyun's white jade pendant back before noon.
Yue Yirou walked out of the bathroom. The study was empty. Yan Ye hadn't returned yet. Yue Yirou guessed that he must have gone back to the bedroom to take a shower.
She had intended to wait for Yan Ye in the living room downstairs, since this study held painful memories for her, and there was her vomit on the floor, making the room smell unpleasant.
But then she thought, the white jade pendant should be in this study. Why not take this opportunity to look for it? Maybe she can find it.
If she could really find the jade pendant, she could just slip away and never have to face that bastard Yan Ye again.
Yan Ye was covered in vomit; he probably won't be able to get out without washing for an hour or two.
And the servants probably wouldn't dare to come into the study so casually.
Without further hesitation, Yue Yirou began rummaging through her things, looking for the jade pendant.
Yan Ye's study, though large, was not cluttered with many things.
Soon, Yue Yirou had flipped through all the pages she could.
But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find Tingyun's white jade pendant.
Where should it be placed?
Isn't he in the study?
Before she came up to the study to see Yan Ye, she had already confirmed with Xue Tao that Tingyun's jade pendant was in Yan Ye's possession.
Steward Xue seems so kind and honest, he probably wouldn't lie to her. Yan Ye seems to have a lot of opinions about Tingyun, so he wouldn't keep the jade pendant on himself, and probably wouldn't put it in his own bedroom either.
It must be in this study, but I don't know where he put it.
Yue Yirou pondered and looked around, her gaze finally settling on the bottom drawer of the desk. Only that drawer was locked and could not be opened.
The drawer is locked, which means the contents inside are important. Is Tingyun's jade pendant important to Yan Ye?
Not important at all!
Yan Ye would never put the jade pendant together with his important possessions.
It's not important. Tingyun's white jade pendant is not important to Yan Ye. Where would he usually put unimportant things?
Yue Yirou held her handbag in front of her with one hand, a gesture that became her subconscious action in the shortest amount of time. She rested her chin on her other hand, frowning as she pondered deeply.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and her gaze fixed on the trash can in the corner not far from the door, a look of excitement appearing in her eyes.
Tingyun's white jade pendant must have been thrown into the trash by Yan Ye.
